Weevilstepmother

Were you ever the kind of child who enjoyed building exquisite detailed sandcastles with shells, flags and all sorts, stood back to admire your work then demolished it with glee? You too? Then you'll love this week's timewaster. (Demolition not compulsory, honest.)

Brainchild of the talented Denise Wilton, this site allows you to build little communities in snoland, in medieville (mediweeville?), or in blankton. Fun for a five minute mooch or a half-hour (or longer) extravaganza, you can save your city, send it as an ecard, come back to it later, work on one collaboratively with a friend, even set your city as your desktop wallpaper. (You have to register with the site to do most of these but can build without registering.)

I just knocked up a quick artist's impression of Weevil Mansions to show you all how easy it is:



I didn't have time to do the extensive grounds, country park, outhouses and stables but you get the general idea, I'm sure.

So here we go people, for this week's timewaster I give you *medieval trumpet fanfare* ... thank you, that will do ... I give you City Creator.
